The City of Ashland tests the Hosler Dam warning sirens quarterly to ensure they are working properly. The next test will be held Monday, January 12, 2015 at 12:00 PM (noon). The sirens at 100% of their full power will sound for fifteen seconds followed by the announcement: "This is a test of the Hosler Dam warning system. This is only a test." The sirens will then sound again for fifteen additional seconds.

The sirens are found at the following locations:

Bowmer Theatre - Downtown Plaza Area

Parks Department - Upper end of Granite Street in Lithia Park

The Dog Park - Oak Street near the Wastewater Treatment Plant

Dutch Bros. - 1910 Highway 99 across from Butler Ford
